After identifying a big issue with cryptocurrency adoption we set out to create a way to make spending and earning cryptocurrency simple. After several months of intense development, we released Crypico in Mid-March. The platform is 100% free to use and allows users to get paid in ANY cryptocurrency. Our final product is now the easiest and most popular cryptocurrency freelance platform. I'm Ty Smith, Co-Founder of Crypico. Ask Me Anything.

We regularly attend startup and blockchain events, especially around New York City. Often, our apperences are not planned very far in advance so, unfortunately, I cannot give an accurate schedule. Best bet to stay in the know is following us on twitter at @Crypico.

Even though your payment module, when compared to another freelance platform, is different and more feasible, what assurance do you have or the client base? How diverse is your client base on the platform?

The fact that I am so enamored by our project makes growth easier. I’m constantly thinking of ways to share what we’ve created with everyone. Crypico is not “work” to me.

More specifically, using Google Analytics has been very helpful. I monitor it 24/7 and it helps gauge the reach of our marketing efforts so that we can allocate our resources most effectively. I think having a free product also makes growth much easier. Our platform offers pretty key benefits to the cryptocurrency community at no cost so users don’t need to be “sold” on joining as much as a paid service might require.

I recommend watching as many YouTube videos as possible. I think that's the most time efficient way to understand the basics of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. There is a huge amount of free resources available online.

The most obvious difference between Crypico and the services you listed is the currency of payment. None of those sites allows users to pay or get paid in cryptocurrency. Another significant difference is the fees charged by each platform. The sites you listed take roughly 20% of a freelancers earnings, Crypico takes none. This allows freelancers to earn more and, thereby, gives buyers access to lower pricing. I've outlined some of the top benefits of freelancing for cryptocurrency on our platform in this article.

A bounty campaign is a list of specific tasks posted by a cryptocurrency company that, when completed, are paid in the company's own coins. These tasks often include jobs focusing on bug testing, social media promotion, and community development.

Airdrops are a common method used by cryptocurrency companies to distribute coins. The coins are typically distributed for free and are allocated based upon a number of possible criteria such as ownership of other coins or membership to certain platforms.

Bounty campaigns and airdrops are both often used to raise awareness around a new cryptocurrency project.

Fortunately, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The ability to use any cryptocurrency with no fees is currently exclusive to Crypico and I think our users find real value in that. We are very lucky to have so many supporters that beleive in our mission of spreading cryptocurrency adoption.

Who are the developers who helped you put this together?

Some are saying that blockchain is nothing more than a glorified database and most projects by far can be done with existing tech, no blockchain needed. What would you say to these people?

I would suggest these people do some more research. If creating a database that is decentralized and immutable is "glorifying" it then they might be right. However, there is so much more to the technology and that would be a massive understatement of the possibilities of blockchain. I can't speak to individual projects and whether blockchain is necessary to their vision.

How do you address groups who get together to pump a coin just to dump it later on?

Crypico is not an exchange and doesn't feature trading so I'm not sure I understand how they are related to our platform. Regardless, pump and dumps are an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of small market cap investments. As cryptocurrency grows, pump and dump groups will have less influence on coin prices.
